“Professionally run B&B in an excellent location along Hadrian’s Wall”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2011

We only stayed one night here at the end of our holiday, but it was beautifully kept, with lovely views and a great location. I wish we could have spent longer exploring the region, but this provided a wonderful taster of Hadrian’s Wall country. And speaking of taste, the breakfast was very good, with a large selection available.

The B&B itself was immaculate; I don't know how they kept everything so clean with hikers coming and going, but the rooms and public areas were pristine. The lounge was a perfect place to get information about the area, and contains a DVD library and TV: I imagine it would be a lovely retreat if the weather turns rough (we were also told you could take DVDs back to your room).

The room we were in (Brocolitia) was enormous: a giant king-size bed and a twin. The bathroom was also large, and I loved that they provided a range of towel sizes (a giant one for the body and a small one for wrapping hair after a shower – perfection!), and they also included face clothes.

The location is perfect for seeing the central bit of Hadrian’s Wall. Vindolanda and Chesters are nearby, as are the ruins of Housesteads (we had a beautiful climb there at sunrise) and the temple of Brocolitia. Slightly further a-field are the National Trust sites of Cragside and Wallington. Both are definitely worth a visit, and you could easily spend a day at each.

Room Tip: Brocolitia is enormous and would be perfect for a family; not sure what other rooms are like.

“Excellent accomodation at an excellent price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2011

Absolutely beautiful little bed and breakfast. They have thought of everything and endeavour to ensure that your stay is as comfortable and memorable as you wished for. People are available to give you a hand if you need it but they stay out of your way for the most part. Breakfast was amazing- so much food! Much more than we had anticipated and really top quality. 100% recommend a stay at Carraw- oh! and did I mention the absolutely spectacular view from the bedroom window! If we're ever back in the neighbourhood we will certainly be booking with Carraw.

“Cosy comfort, quality food, relaxed atmosphere - ideal for the perfect break”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 May 2011

Our stay at Carraw's was short but very restful. Kevin and Leah were very welcoming and helpful. It was great to stay in a traditional old farm house that had been transformed so well and so sympathetically into such pleasant accommodation. Our room (Housesteads) was very comfortable with many farmhouse features retained. Everything was tastefully decorated and spotless. The view was spectacular! The location of the B&B (for outdoor activities, to visit wonderful country houses, historic sites, museums) and the feeling it provides of being in the heart of the magnificent Northumbrian countryside was great. The dinner and breakfast we had were delicious and very generous portions indeed. Excellent value for money! It was obvious that Kevin and Leah put their heart to their business and they have every right to be proud of it. We would definitely recommend their B&B to everyone.

“A fantastic place to stay on our Hadrians Wall cycle”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 May 2011

Thank you for a wonderful one nights stay this weekend. After an eventful cycle from carlisle (puncture one hour in to the trip, rain and blustery winds) we arrived to a very warm welcome. Our room was beautiful looking out across the valley. A warm bath to ease the aching muscles, great fluffy bath robes. We were there on sunday evening, so tucked in to a hearty bowl of soup and a tip top ploughmans. We were off to newcastle the next day, and had a great start with a full english breakfast. A fantastic place to stay!

“Wonderful location;wonderful accomodation; wonderful food.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2011

As a starting point for this leg of our Hadrian's Wall walk, Carraw B&B could not be faulted. The views across the rolling hills were a fantastic sight to wake up to and the breakfast, delicious and hearty, set us up for a long days walking. I would not hesitate in suggesting this place as an overnight ( or more) to anyone.
